It has been an absolute pleasure sitting on the Board of ACU for the past four years. I'm very excited to continue bringing my expertise and insight into the boardroom and help us move forward on our strategic plan and ambitious goals while maintaining the same excellent service our members have come to expect.This year, my first as Board Vice-Chair, has given me a different perspective on how we operate and has provided me the opportunity to be more a leader in our governance structure. My graduate-­level education in governance and non­profit management has helped me thrive in this leadership role.My complimentary roles as a Trustee in the Winnipeg School Division, as an Instructor with the Department of Business and Administration at the University of Winnipeg, and various other Board roles will continue to aid me in utilizing best practices around the board table and be as effective a Director as I can be. If elected, I will continue to strive to make ACU even better.
